God's perfect law converts the soul
Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Instructive Psalms Lyrics: 1 God's perfect law converts the soul,
Reclaims from false desires;
With sacred wisdom his sure word
The ignorant inspires.
2 The statutes of the Lord are just,
And bring sincere delight;
His pure commands, in search of truth,
Assist the feeblest sight.
3 His perfect worship here is fix'd,
On sure foundations laid;
His equal laws are in the scales
Of truth and justice weigh'd.
4 Of more esteem than golden mines,
Of gold refined with skill;
More sweet than honey, or the drops
That from the comb distil.
5 But what frail man observes how oft
He does from virtue fall?
O! cleanse me from my secret faults,
Thou, God, that know'st them all. Scripture: Psalm 19 Text Sources: Tate and Brady's New Version
God's perfect law converts the soul
Now in the galleries of his grace
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Children instructed; Instruction in piety; Piety instructions therein Lyrics:
Now in the galleries of his grace
Appears the King, and thus he says,
"How fair my saints are in my sight!
My love how pleasant for delight!"
Kind is thy language, sovereign Lord,
There's heav'nly grace in every word;
From that dear mouth a stream divine
Flows sweeter than the choicest wine.
Such wondrous love awakes the lip
Of saints that were almost asleep,
To speak the praises of thy name,
And makes our cold affections flame.
These are the joys he lets us know
In fields and villages below;
Gives us a relish of his love,
But keeps his noblest feast above.
In Paradise, within the gates,
A higher entertainment waits
Fruits new and old laid up in store,
Where we shall feed, but thirst no more.
Scripture: Song of Solomon 7:5-13
Now in the galleries of his grace
Waiting for Pardon and Direction
Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Instruction from God First Line: I lift my Soul to GOD Lyrics: 1 I lift my Soul to GOD,
My Trust is in his Name:
Let not my Foes that seek my Blood
Still triumph in my Shame.
2 Sin, and the Pow'rs of Hell,
Persuade me to despair:
Lord, make me know thy Cov'nant well,
That I may 'scape the Snare.
3 From the first dawning Light
Till the dark Ev'ning rise,
For thy Salvation, Lord, I wait
With ever-longing Eyes.
4 Remember all thy Grace,
And lead me in thy Truth;
Forgive the Sins of riper Days,
And Follies of my Youth.
5 The Lord is just and kind,
The Meek shall learn his Ways,
And every humble Sinner find
The Methods of his Grace.
6 For his own Goodness Sake,
He saves my Soul from Shame,
He pardons (tho' my Guilt be great)
Thro' my Redeemer's Name. Scripture: Psalm 25:1-11
Waiting for Pardon and Direction
Sactified Afflictions; or, Delight in the Word of God
Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Afflicted Instruction by them First Line: Father, I bless thy gentle Hand Lyrics: 1 Father, I bless thy gentle Hand;
How kind was thy chastizing rod,
That forc'd my Conscience to a Stand,
And brought my wand'ring Soul to GOD!
2 Foolish and vain, I went astray
Ere I had felt thy Scourges, Lord;
I left my Guide, and lost my Way;
But now I love and keep thy Word.
3 'Tis good for me to wear the Yoke,
For pride is apt to rise and swell;
'Tis good to bear my Father's Stroke,
That I might learn his Statutes well.
4 The Law that issues from thy Mouth
Shall raise my chearful Passions more
Than all the Treasures of the South,
Or Western Hills of golden Ore.
5 Thy Hands have made my mortal Frame,
Thy Spirit form'd my Soul within;
Teach me to know thy wond'rous Name,
And guard me safe from Death and Sin.
6 Then all that love and fear the Lord
At my Salvation shall rejoice;
For I have hoped in thy Word,
And made thy Grace my only Choice. Scripture: Psalm 119:67
Sactified Afflictions; or, Delight in the Word of God
That Man Is Blest Who, Fearing God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Instruction Lyrics: 1 That man is blest who, fearing God,
from sin restrains his feet,
who will not stand with wicked men,
who shuns the scorners' seat.
2 Yea, blest is he who makes God's law
his portion and delight,
and meditates upon that law
with gladness day and night.
3 That man is nourished like a tree
set by the river's side;
its leaf is green, its fruit is sure,
and thus his works abide.
4 The wicked, like the driven chaff,
are swept from off the land;
they shall not gather with the just,
nor in the judgment stand.
5 The LORD will guard the righteous well,
their way to Him is known;
the way of sinners, far from God,
shall surely be o'erthrown. Scripture: Psalm 1 Used With Tune: ST. AGNES
That Man Is Blest Who, Fearing God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Instruction Lyrics: 1 Thy promised mercies send to me,
Thy great salvation, LORD;
so shall I answer those who scoff;
my trust is in Thy word.
2 My hope is in Thy judgment, LORD;
take not Thy truth from me,
and in Thy law forevermore
my daily walk shall be.
3 And I will walk at liberty
because Thy truth I seek;
Thy truth before the kings of earth
with boldness I will speak.
4 The Lord's commands, which I have loved,
shall still new joy impart;
with rev'rence I will hear Thy laws
and keep them in my heart. Scripture: Psalm 119:41-48 Used With Tune: ST. AGNES Text Sources: The Psalter,, 1912
